Close work at the weather mark. Sports
men compete in the annual regatta of the
Royal Danish Yacht Club. To keep din
ghies balanced on the turn, skippers lean
far out to windward. Some wear as many
as seven wool sweaters-presoaked-to
provide extra weight for the maneuver.
Boats race on 0resund, a 15-mile-wide
strait that separates Denmark and Sweden.
Race Week Contestants Tent
Beside Their Boats
Flags of France, West Germany, the Neth
erlands, Belgium, United Kingdom, and
Denmark will fly above the fleet. Most
sailors arrive at the yacht club by car, with
boats in tow.
"Since it rained most of the week, I
doubt these campers ever were dry," says
photographer Grosvenor. "Each day they
came off the water soaking wet and hung
out their clothes on the tent poles."
